Springtime, morning, the way the light plays with the camera lens … and a little imagination:
as morning dawns
enchanted light and colour
a finch calls his mate

Mother’s Gift – Friday Fictioneers – March 24, 2016
“Perfect!” Stephen said rubbing his hands together, “I think that’ll get the message across!”
“Uhm, don’t you think that that’s a bit much?” Jason said, looking doubtfully.
“Nah! My Mom’s got an original outlook … she’ll love this!”
The next day, Mother’s Day, Stephen blind-folded his mother and took her out to the back garden.
“Happy Mother’s Day!” he intoned proud of his handy-work.
“Oh my Stephen! Now this is original indeed!” she beamed though uncertainly at him. “Just one thing, would you mind terribly if I paint the commode sky blue?”
“Ah! I should have thought of that!”

Won’t you come and see
loneliness? Just one leaf
from the kiri tree.

left on the cherry tree

Dawn Thoughts – Orchards – February 28, 2015
these pure white blossoms
nature’s springtime maiden heads
apple trees abloom
walking through orchards
red plum and pink cherry blooms
how sweet the perfume
dancing bees
joyous among the apple trees
the orchard in fest
this still spring morning
sol smiles his benediction
ah … smell the turned earth
blossoms bright sweetly perfumed
life quickens on Earth
farmers working
preparing the new autumn
under warm spring skies

Haiku – March 28
sharp cold wind blowing
skies hanging shivery dark
blossoms fly away
Colors – Shadorma
Colors

speeding spring along
red – green – pink
inviting
onyric concerts of light
in a cold dark day
Spring Haibun – March 9, 2014
Blossom
Months of cold…dark days that seemed to run one into another, depressing. Walking along the lake and into the woods, brought some surcease to the drab long days, even if the world seemed to be reduced to somber grey or the dark green of pines and spruces.
Then spring began to awaken. The first blossoms began to show their heads, the snow drops at first, followed by tiny violets. Finally the first daisies and daffodils sprouted. Spring at last had pushed dull winter aside!
life marches on
spring timidly approaches
leaving dark behind
